Dispute with Hook Entertainment

[edit]

On November 18, 2022, the dispute between Lee and his agency, Hook Entertainment, was revealed for the first time when Lee had sent a request for transparency of payments to Hook regarding settlements. Later, on November 21, through an independent report by Dispatch, it was revealed that Lee had not been properly settled for 18 years of music revenue and was even gaslighted by his agency since debut.[128]

On November 25, 2022, Hook Entertainment claimed that the debt relationship with Lee has been settled in 2021 when their contract was renewed and the unsettled music revenue is false.[129]

In response, Lee's legal representative made another statement on November 28 to refute Hook Entertainment's claim and said Lee's side never received any music settlement. They further added that the 2021 agreement between Lee and Hook Entertainment concerns ₩4.7 billion in real estate investment in Hook Entertainment which they received from Lee in 2011 for the purchase of its building, but CEO Kwon Jin-young of Hook did not keep her promises related to the investment.[130]

On December 1, 2022, Lee forwarded a notice to Hook Entertainment to terminate their exclusive contract citing Hook's violation of obligations due to unsettled revenue. According to the reports, Hook Entertainment has partially admitted to some earnings from Lee's music distribution not being paid to the artist. As a result, Lee's legal side has obtained evidence to sue Hook Entertainment for violation of management duties, and thus, the artist will be moving forward with the one-sided termination of his contract.[131]

On December 16, 2022, Hook announced that they had additionally paid the base payment of ₩1.3 billion, the unpaid settlement amount of ₩2.9 billion and the delay interest of ₩1.2 billion, which total about ₩5.4 billion to Lee.[132] On the same day, Lee posted on Instagram and revealed that he would donate all of the money he received from the settlement to charity. In his letter, Lee writes that although he has received ₩5.4 billion from Hook, the amount he was to receive was one-sidedly decided by the agency and that even now he wasn't given a full accounting. As such, he will continue with the lawsuit.[133]

Lee officially filed a criminal lawsuit against Hook Entertainment's CEO Kwon Jin-young, as well as its former and current directors on December 22, 2022. It was also revealed in the legal statement that Hook's CEO and directors had embezzled a portion of Lee's advertising model fees, ten percent of his fees were thought to be for agency fees, but in truth, three percent was shared amongst themselves.[134]

Legacy
